Definitions

  • BACKGROUND RAD51 is a member of the RAD51 family which promotes the repair of DNA double strand breaks (DSB). RAD51 protein is highly conserved in most eukaryotes, from yeast to humans. The human RAD51 is a 339-amino acid protein that plays a major role in DNA replication and repair by homologous recombination (HR). RAD51 catalyzes strand transfer between a broken sequence and undamaged homologous template to allow re-synthesis of the damaged region.
  • HR homologous recombination
  • PARP Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase
  • PARP-1 the founding member, consists of three main domains: a N-terminal DNA-binding domain containing two zinc fingers, an automodification domain, and a C-terminal catalytic domain.
  • PARP are nuclear and cytoplasmic enzymes that cleave NAD + to nicotinamide and ADP-ribose to form long and branched ADP-ribose polymers on target proteins, including topoisomerases, histones, and PARP itself.
  • Poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation has been implicated in several biological processes, including DNA repair, gene transcription, cell cycle progression, cell death, chromatin functions, and genomic stability. Inhibition of PARP has been shown to play a role in several disease states.
  • PARP inhibitors have been used in prophylactic therapy for elimination of BRCA2-deficient cells, treatment of inflammation diseases, acute and chronic myocardial diseases, vascular diseases, septic shock, ischemic injury, and neurotoxicity, and treatment or prevention of autoimmune diseases such as Type I diabetes and diabetic complications. PARP has also been demonstrated to play a role in the pathogenesis of hemorrhagic shock.

  • the cancer is characterized by mutations in the mutS homologues (e.g., MSH2, MSH3, and MSH6), mutL homologues (e.g. MLH1), or mismatch repair endonuclease PMS2.
  • Mutations are changes in the genetic code. They include point mutations and frameshift mutations. In a point mutation, one nucleotide is swapped out for another. Therefore, the mutation occurs at a single point or location within the DNA strand.
  • Frameshift mutations are due to either insertions or deletions of nucleotides. This causes the entire DNA strand to elongate or to shrink in size. Thus, frameshift mutations may alter all of the codons that occur after the deletion or insertion.
  • the mutations referred to herein include, but are not limited to, insertions, deletions, duplications, inversions, or other recognized point mutations. It has now been found that RAD51 inhibitors are particularly effective in treating cancers with mutations in MSH (e.g. MSH6), MLH, or PMS2.
  • MutS Homolog 2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MSH2 gene, which is located on chromosome 2.
  • MSH2 is a tumor suppressor gene and more specifically a caretaker gene that codes for a DNA mismatch repair (MMR) protein, MSH2, which forms a heterodimer with MSH6 to make the human MutSa mismatch repair complex. It also dimerizes with MSH3 to form the MutSb DNA repair complex.

  • MutS Homolog 3 is a human homologue of the bacterial mismatch repair protein MutS that participates in the mismatch repair (MMR) system.
  • MSH3 typically forms the heterodimer MutSb with MSH2 in order to correct long insertion/deletion loops and base- base mispairs in microsatellites during DNA synthesis.
  • Deficient capacity for MMR is found in approximately 15% of colorectal cancers, and somatic mutations in the MSH3 gene can be found in nearly 50% of MMR-deficient colorectal cancers. Examples of the mutations in MSH3 include, but are not limited to, g.79970809del.

  • MMR DNA mismatch repair
  • the MSH6 protein forms a heterodimer with MutS homologue 2 (MSH2) in both human and yeast.
  • Human MSH2/6 recognizes single base-base mismatches and short insertion/deletion loops. Upon recognition of a mismatch, MSH2/6 complex binds and exchanges ADP for ATP, resulting in a conformational change to the complex that precedes base pair dissolution, base excision, and repair.
  • MSH6 mutations include frameshift and/or nonsense mutations and can result in non- functional MSH6 and loss of protein expression. Examples include a frameshift mutation at MSH6 amino acid residue 290 and a compounding missense T1189I.
  • Inactivating MSH6 mutations can be detected in cancers by routine diagnostics methods. These methods include, but are not limited to, obtaining cancer cells and other diagnostic indicators such as peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), PBMC subpopulations, circulating blasts (CD34+ cells), circulating tumor cells and circulating exosomescancer cells by biopsy and blood tests and by obtaining lymphatic or other bodily fluids.

While the culture media was warming, 10mL of fresh media was pipetted from the 500mL culture media bottle into a sterile 25mL reservoir. Using the Eppendorf multichannel pipette, 130ul of media was piptted from the 25mL reservoir into row G of the 96 well u-bottom plate. Once the 250mL bottle of media was warmed, the volume of culture needed was pipetted into the bottle, and mixed gently with a 25mL serological pipette as to not create bubbles, and then the contents of the bottle were pipetted into a new 300mL reservoir.

The percent kill was then calculated by subtracting the normalized RLU value from 1 and multiplying by 100. The average normalized percent kill value and standard error of the mean was then calculated. The kill values were then inputted into Prism with the corresponding standard errors. In Prism a non- linear regression line was plotted with the data points using a semi-log scale, and the EC 50 value was calculated.

Description

COMBINATIONS OF RAD51 AND PARP INHIBITORS
RELATED APPLICATIONS
This application claims priority to and the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 62/823,556, filed on March 25, 2019, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. BACKGROUND RAD51 is a member of the RAD51 family which promotes the repair of DNA double strand breaks (DSB). RAD51 protein is highly conserved in most eukaryotes, from yeast to humans. The human RAD51 is a 339-amino acid protein that plays a major role in DNA replication and repair by homologous recombination (HR). RAD51 catalyzes strand transfer between a broken sequence and undamaged homologous template to allow re-synthesis of the damaged region.
Studies have demonstrated sensitization to certain DNA damaging therapies associated with defects in proteins that promote HR DNA repair. This sensitization is particularly dramatic for DNA cross-linking chemotherapeutic drugs and ionizing radiation. It has been shown that HR can be partially inhibited in order to sensitize cells to DNA damaging therapies. For example, inhibition of XRCC3 (a RAD51 paralog protein) using a synthetic peptide sensitized Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cells to cisplatin and inhibited the formation of sub-nuclear RAD51 foci in response to DNA damage. Researchers have inhibited the expression of the RAD51 protein itself or blocked its function by over- expressing a dominant negative BRC peptide fragment derived from BRCA2. In view of the connection between increased sensitivity to DNA damaging therapies and defects in HR DNA repair-related proteins, there is a need for compounds that inhibit RAD51.
Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) constitutes a super family of eighteen proteins containing PARP catalytic domains. These proteins include PARP-1, PARP-2, PARP-3, tankyrase-1, tankyrase-2, vaultPARP and TiPARP. PARP-1, the founding member, consists of three main domains: a N-terminal DNA-binding domain containing two zinc fingers, an automodification domain, and a C-terminal catalytic domain. PARP are nuclear and cytoplasmic enzymes that cleave NAD+ to nicotinamide and ADP-ribose to form long and branched ADP-ribose polymers on target proteins, including topoisomerases, histones, and PARP itself. Poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation has been implicated in several biological processes, including DNA repair, gene transcription, cell cycle progression, cell death, chromatin functions, and genomic stability. Inhibition of PARP has been shown to play a role in several disease states. PARP inhibitors have been used in prophylactic therapy for elimination of BRCA2-deficient cells, treatment of inflammation diseases, acute and chronic myocardial diseases, vascular diseases, septic shock, ischemic injury, and neurotoxicity, and treatment or prevention of autoimmune diseases such as Type I diabetes and diabetic complications. PARP has also been demonstrated to play a role in the pathogenesis of hemorrhagic shock.
Thus, there is a need for therapies that utilize both RAD51 inhibitors and PARP inhibitors. The present application addresses the need. SUMMARY

The term "synergistic" as used herein refers to a therapeutic combination which is more effective than the additive effects of the two or more single agents. A determination of a synergistic interaction between the compounds disclosed herein, and one or more PARP inhibitor may be based on the results obtained from the assays described herein.
The combination therapy may provide "synergy" and prove "synergistic", i.e., the effect achieved when the active ingredients used together is greater than the sum of the effects that results from using the compounds separately. A synergistic effect may be attained when the active ingredients are: (1) co-formulated and administered or delivered simultaneously in a combined, unit dosage formulation; (2) delivered by alternation as separate formulations; or (3) by some other regimen. When delivered in alternation therapy, a synergistic effect may be attained when the compounds are administered or delivered sequentially. In some
embodiments, the compound of the present application is administered first. In other embodiments, the PARP inhibitor is administered first. In alternate embodimnets, the combination therapy is administered concomitantly as separate compositions. In alternate embodiments, the combination therapy is administered as a single composition.
Combination therapy in which two or more drugs are used together in some dosing regimen or administration form, typically has one or more goals of: (i) reducing the frequency at which acquired resistance arises by combining drugs with minimal cross- resistance, (ii) lowering the doses of drugs with non-overlapping toxicity and similar therapeutic profile so as to achieve efficacy with fewer side effects, i.e., increase therapeutic index, (iii) sensitizing cells to the action of one drug through use of another drug, such as altering cell-cycle stage or growth properties, and (iv) achieving enhanced potency by exploiting additivity, or greater than additivity, effects in the biological activity of two drugs.
As used herein, the term“combination”, as applied to two or more compounds and/or agents, is intended to define material in which the two or more agents are associated. The terms“combined” and“combining” in this context are to be interpreted accordingly.
The association of the two or more compounds/agents in a combination may be physical or non-physical. Examples of physically associated combined compounds/agents include: compositions (e.g., unitary formulations) comprising the two or more
compounds/agents in admixture (for example within the same unit dose); compositions comprising material in which the two or more compounds/agents are
chemically/physicochemically linked (for example by crosslinking, molecular agglomeration or binding to a common vehicle moiety); compositions comprising material in which the two or more compounds/agents are chemically/physicochemically co-packaged (for example, disposed on or within lipid vesicles, particles (e.g. micro- or nanoparticles) or emulsion droplets); pharmaceutical kits, pharmaceutical packs or patient packs in which the two or more compounds/agents are co-packaged or co-presented (e.g. as part of an array of unit doses). Examples of non-physically associated combined compounds/agents include: material (e.g., a non-unitary formulation) comprising at least one of the two or more
compounds/agents together with instructions for the extemporaneous association of the at least one compound to form a physical association of the two or more compounds/agents; material (e.g., a non-unitary formulation) comprising at least one of the two or more compounds/agents together with instructions for combination therapy with the two or more compounds/agents; material comprising at least one of the two or more compounds/agents together with instructions for administration to a patient population in which the other(s) of the two or more compounds/agents have been (or are being) administered; material comprising at least one of the two or more compounds/agents in an amount or in a form which is specifically adapted for use in combination with the other(s) of the two or more compounds/agents.
As used herein, the term“combination therapy” is intended to define therapies which comprise the use of a combination of two or more compounds/agents (as defined above). Thus, references to“combination therapy”,“combinations” and the use of compounds/agents “in combination” in this application may refer to compounds/agents that are administered as part of the same overall treatment regimen. As such, the dosage regimine of each of the two or more compounds/agents may differ: each may be administered at the same time or at different times. It will therefore be appreciated that the compounds/agents of
the combination may be administered sequentially (e.g. before or after) or simultaneously, either in the same pharmaceutical formulation (i.e. together), or in different pharmaceutical formulations (i.e. separately). Simultaneously in the same formulation is as a unitary formulation whereas simultaneously in different pharmaceutical formulations is non-unitary. The dosage of each of the two or more compounds/agents in a combination therapy may also differ with respect to the route of administration.
As used herein, the term“pharmaceutical kit” defines an array of one or more unit doses of a pharmaceutical composition together with dosing means (e.g. measuring device) and/or delivery means (e.g. inhaler or syringe), optionally all contained within common outer packaging. In pharmaceutical kits comprising a combination of two or more
compounds/agents, the individual compounds/agents may be unitary or non-unitary formulations. The unit dose(s) may be contained within a blister pack. The pharmaceutical kit may optionally further comprise instructions for use.
As used herein, the term“pharmaceutical pack” defines an array of one or more unit doses of a pharmaceutical composition, optionally contained within common outer packaging. In pharmaceutical packs comprising a combination of two or more
compounds/agents, the individual compounds/agents may be unitary or non-unitary formulations. The unit dose(s) may be contained within a blister pack. The pharmaceutical pack may optionally further comprise instructions for use.
In some embodiments,“temporal proximity” means that administration of one therapeutic agent occurs within a time period before or after the administration of another therapeutic agent, such that the therapeutic effect of the one therapeutic agent overlaps with the therapeutic effect of the another therapeutic agent. In some embodiments, the therapeutic effect of the one therapeutic agent completely overlaps with the therapeutic effect of the other therapeutic agent. In some embodiments,“temporal proximity” means that administration of one therapeutic agent occurs within a time period before or after the administration of another therapeutic agent, such that there is a synergistic effect between the one therapeutic agent and the another therapeutic agent.“Temporal proximity” may vary according to various factors, including but not limited to, the age, gender, weight, genetic background, medical condition, disease history, and treatment history of the subject to which the therapeutic agents are to be administered; the disease or condition to be treated or ameliorated; the therapeutic outcome to be achieved; the dosage, dosing frequency, and dosing duration of the therapeutic agents; the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of the therapeutic agents; and the route(s) through which the therapeutic agents are administered. In some embodiments,“temporal proximity” means within 15 minutes, within 30 minutes, within an hour, within two hours, within four hours, within six hours, within eight hours, within 12 hours, within 18 hours, within 24 hours, within 36 hours, within 2 days, within 3 days, within 4 days, within 5 days, within 6 days, within a week, within 2 weeks, within 3 weeks, within 4 weeks, with 6 weeks, or within 8 weeks. In some embodiments, multiple administration of one therapeutic agent can occur in temporal proximity to a single administration of another therapeutic agent. In some embodiments, temporal proximity may change during a treatment cycle or within a dosing regimen.
The term“halo” as used herein means halogen and includes fluoro, chloro, bromo and iodo.
The term“alkyl” used alone or as part of a larger moiety, such as“alkoxy” or “haloalkyl” and the like, means saturated aliphatic straight-chain or branched monovalent hydrocarbon radical.

The terms“heteroaryl”,“heteroaromatic”,“heteroaryl ring”,“heteroaryl group”, “heteroaromatic ring”, and“heteroaromatic group”, are used interchangeably herein.
“Heteroaryl” when used alone or as part of a larger moiety as in“heteroaralkyl” or “heteroarylalkoxy”, refers to aromatic ring groups having five to ten ring atoms selected from carbon and at least one (typically 1 to 4, more typically 1 or 2) heteroatoms (e.g., oxygen, nitrogen or sulfur).“Heteroaryl” includes monocyclic rings and polycyclic rings in which a monocyclic heteroaromatic ring is fused to one or more other aromatic or
heteroaromatic rings.“Heteroaryl” includes monocyclic and bicyclic ring systems.
“Monocyclic 5- 6 membered heteroaromatic ring (or heteroaryl)” means a monocyclic heteroaromatic ring having five or six ring atoms selected from carbon and at least one (typically 1 to 3, more typically 1 or 2) heteroatoms (e.g., oxygen, nitrogen or sulfur).
Examples of monocyclic 5-6 membered heteroaromatic ring groups include furanyl (e.g., 2- furanyl, 3-furanyl), imidazolyl (e.g., N-imidazolyl, 2-imidazolyl, 4-imidazolyl, 5-imidazolyl), isoxazolyl (e.g., 3-isoxazolyl, 4-isoxazolyl, 5-isoxazolyl), oxadiazolyl (e.g., 2-oxadiazolyl, 5- oxadiazolyl), oxazolyl (e.g., 2-oxazolyl, 4-oxazolyl, 5-oxazolyl), pyrazolyl (e.g., 3-pyrazolyl, 4-pyrazolyl), pyrrolyl (e.g., 1-pyrrolyl, 2-pyrrolyl, 3-pyrrolyl), pyridyl (e.g., 2-pyridyl, 3- pyridyl, 4-pyridyl), pyrimidinyl (e.g., 2-pyrimidinyl, 4-pyrimidinyl, 5-pyrimidinyl), pyridazinyl (e.g., 3-pyridazinyl), thiazolyl (e.g., 2-thiazolyl, 4-thiazolyl, 5-thiazolyl), isothiazolyl, triazolyl (e.g., 2-triazolyl, 5-triazolyl), tetrazolyl (e.g., tetrazolyl), and thienyl (e.g., 2-thienyl, 3-thienyl).
If a group is described as being“substituted,” a non-hydrogen substituent replaces a hydrogen on a carbon or nitrogen of the substituent. Thus, for example, a substituted alkyl is an alkyl wherein at least one non-hydrogen substituent is in the place of a hydrogen substituent on the alkyl substituent. To illustrate, monofluoroalkyl is alkyl substituted with a fluoro substituent, and difluoroalkyl is alkyl substituted with two fluoro substituents. It should be recognized that if there is more than one substitution on a substituent, each non- hydrogen substituent can be identical or different (unless otherwise stated). As used herein, many moieties (e.g., alkyl, cycloalkyl, or a heterocyclic ring) are referred to as being either “substituted” or“optionally substituted”. When a moiety is modified by one of these terms, unless otherwise noted, it denotes that any portion of the moiety that is known to one skilled in the art as being available for substitution can be substituted, which includes one or more substituents. If more than one substituent is present, then each substituent is independently selected. Such means for substitution are well-known in the art and/or taught by the instant application. The optional substituents can be any substituents that are suitable to attach to the moiety. A person of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that the compounds and definitions provided do not include impermissible substituent patterns (e.g., methyl substituted with 5 different groups, and the like). Such impermissible substitution patterns are clearly recognized by a person of ordinary skill in the art. When a group is described as being optionally substituted by“one or more” substituents, it denotes that the group is optionally substituted by one, two, three, four, five or six substituents. In one embodiment, a group is optionally substituted by 1-3 substituents. In one embodiment, a group is optionally substituted by 1-2 substituents. In one embodiment, a group is optionally substituted by one substituent.
Suitable substituents are those which do not have a significant adverse effect on the ability of the compound to inhibit RAD51. Where suitable substituents are not specifically enumerated, exemplary substituents include, but are not limited to, halo, -CN, alkyl, alkoxy, halomethyl, halomethoxy, (C1-C5)alkyl, halo(C1-C5)alkyl, (C1-C5)alkoxy, -NO2, -ORc’, - NRa’Rb’, -S(O)iRa’, -NRaS(O)iRb’, -S(O)iNRa’Rb’, -C(=O)ORa’, -OC(=O)ORa’, -C(=S)ORa’, - O(C=S)Ra’, -C(=O)NRa’Rb’, -NRa’C(=O)Rb’, -C(=S)NRa’Rb’, -NRa’C(=S)Rb’, -NRa’(C=O)ORb’, -O(C=O)NRa’Rb’, -NRa’(C=S)ORb’, -O(C=S)NRa’Rb’, -NRa’(C=O)NRa’Rb’, -NRa’(C=S)NRa’Rb’, -C(=S)Ra’, -C(=O)Ra’, (C3-C6)cycloalkyl, monocyclic heteroaryl and phenyl, wherein the (C3-C6)cycloalkyl, monocyclic heteroaryl and phenyl substituents are optionally and independently substituted with–CH3, halomethyl, halo, methoxy or halomethoxy. Each Ra’ and each Rb’ are independently selected from–H and (C1- C5)alkyl, wherein the (C1- C5)alkyl group represented by Ra’ or Rb’ is optionally substituted with hydroxyl or (C1- C3)alkoxy; Rc’ is–H, halo(C1- C5)alkyl or (C1- C5)alkyl, wherein the (C1- C5)alkyl group represented by Rc is optionally substituted with hydroxyl or
(C1- C3)alkoxy; and i is 0, 1, or 2. =O is also a suitable substituent for alkyl, cycloalkyl, and a heterocyclic ring.
Compounds having one or more chiral centers can exist in various stereoisomeric forms. Stereoisomers are compounds that differ only in their spatial arrangement.
Stereoisomers include all diastereomeric, enantiomeric, and epimeric forms as well as racemates and mixtures thereof.
The term“geometric isomer” refers to cyclic compounds having at least two substituents, wherein the two substituents are both on the same side of the ring (cis) or wherein the substituents are each on opposite sides of the ring (trans). When a disclosed compound is named or depicted by structure without indicating stereochemistry, it is understood that the name or the structure encompasses one or more of the possible stereoisomers, or geometric isomers, or a mixture of the encompassed stereoisomers or geometric isomers.
When a geometric isomer is depicted by name or structure, it is to be understood that the named or depicted isomer exists to a greater degree than another isomer, that is that the geometric isomeric purity of the named or depicted geometric isomer is greater than 50%, such as at least 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 99%, or 99.9% pure by weight. Geometric isomeric purity is determined by dividing the weight of the named or depicted geometric isomer in the mixture by the total weight of all of the geometric isomers in the mixture.
Racemic mixture means 50% of one enantiomer and 50% of is corresponding enantiomer. When a compound with one chiral center is named or depicted without indicating the stereochemistry of the chiral center, it is understood that the name or structure
encompasses both possible enantiomeric forms (e.g., both enantiomerically-pure,
enantiomerically-enriched or racemic ) of the compound. When a compound with two or more chiral centers is named or depicted without indicating the stereochemistry of the chiral centers, it is understood that the name or structure encompasses all possible diastereomeric forms (e.g., diastereomerically pure, diastereomerically enriched and equimolar mixtures of one or more diastereomers (e.g., racemic mixtures) of the compound.
Enantiomeric and diastereomeric mixtures can be resolved into their component enantiomers or stereoisomers by well-known methods, such as chiral-phase gas
chromatography, chiral-phase high performance liquid chromatography, crystallizing the compound as a chiral salt complex, or crystallizing the compound in a chiral solvent.
Enantiomers and diastereomers also can be obtained from diastereomerically- or
enantiomerically-pure intermediates, reagents, and catalysts by well-known asymmetric synthetic methods.
When a compound is designated by a name or structure that indicates a single enantiomer, unless indicated otherwise, the compound is at least 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 99% or 99.9% optically pure (also referred to as“enantiomerically pure”). Optical purity is the weight in the mixture of the named or depicted enantiomer divided by the total weight in the mixture of both enantiomers.
When the stereochemistry of a disclosed compound is named or depicted by structure, and the named or depicted structure encompasses more than one stereoisomer (e.g., as in a diastereomeric pair), it is to be understood that one of the encompassed stereoisomers or any mixture of the encompassed stereoisomers is included. It is to be further understood that the stereoisomeric purity of the named or depicted stereoisomers at least 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 99% or 99.9% by weight. The stereoisomeric purity in this case is determined by dividing the total weight in the mixture of the stereoisomers encompassed by the name or structure by the total weight in the mixture of all of the stereoisomers.

A“pharmaceutical composition” contains the compound of the present application and a PARP inhibitor in a form suitable for administration to a subject. In one embodiment, the pharmaceutical composition is in bulk or in unit dosage form. The unit dosage form is any of a variety of forms, including, for example, a capsule, an IV bag, a tablet, a single pump on an aerosol inhaler or a vial. The quantity of active ingredient (e.g., a formulation of the disclosed compound or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and a formulation of a PARP inhibitor or a a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof) in a unit dose of composition is an effective amount and is varied according to the particular treatment involved. One skilled in the art will appreciate that it is sometimes necessary to make routine variations to the dosage depending on the age and condition of the patient. The dosage will also depend on the route of administration. A variety of routes are contemplated, including oral, pulmonary, rectal, parenteral, transdermal, subcutaneous, intravenous, intramuscular, intraperitoneal, inhalational, buccal, sublingual, intrapleural, intrathecal, intranasal, and the like. Dosage forms for the topical or transdermal administration of a compound of this application and a PARP inhibitor include powders, sprays, ointments, pastes, creams, lotions, gels, solutions, patches and inhalants. In one embodiment, the active compound and the PARP inhibitor is mixed under sterile conditions with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, and with any preservatives, buffers or propellants that are required.
As used herein, the phrase“pharmaceutically acceptable” refers to those compounds, materials, compositions, carriers, and/or dosage forms which are, within the scope of sound medical judgment, suitable for use in contact with the tissues of human beings and animals without excessive toxicity, irritation, allergic response, or other problem or complication, commensurate with a reasonable benefit/risk ratio.
“Pharmaceutically acceptable carrier” and“pharmaceutically acceptable diluent” refer to a substance that aids the formulation and/or administration of an active agent to and/or absorption by a subject and can be included in the compositions of the present application without causing a significant adverse toxicological effect on the subject. Non-limiting examples of pharmaceutically acceptable carriers and/or diluents include water, NaCl, normal saline solutions, lactated Ringer’s, normal sucrose, normal glucose, binders, fillers, disintegrants, lubricants, coatings, sweeteners, flavors, salt solutions (such as Ringer’s solution), alcohols, oils, gelatins, carbohydrates such as lactose, amylose or starch, fatty acid esters, hydroxymethycellulose, polyvinyl pyrrolidine, and colors, and the like. Such preparations can be sterilized and, if desired, mixed with auxiliary agents such as lubricants, preservatives, stabilizers, wetting agents, emulsifiers, salts for influencing osmotic pressure, buffers, coloring, and/or aromatic substances and the like that do not deleteriously react with or interfere with the activity of the compounds and PARP inhibitors provided herein. One of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that other pharmaceutical excipients are suitable for use with disclosed compounds and PARP inhibitors.
The term "carrier", as used in this application, encompasses carriers, excipients, and diluents and means a material, composition or vehicle, such as a liquid or solid filler, diluent, excipient, solvent or encapsulating material, involved in carrying or transporting a
pharmaceutical agent from one organ, or portion of the body, to another organ, or portion of the body of a subject. The pharmaceutical compositions of the present application optionally include one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers and/or diluents therefor, such as lactose, starch, cellulose and dextrose. Other excipients, such as flavoring agents; sweeteners; and preservatives, such as methyl, ethyl, propyl and butyl parabens, can also be included. More complete listings of suitable excipients can be found in the Handbook of Pharmaceutical Excipients (5th Ed., Pharmaceutical Press (2005)). A person skilled in the art would know how to prepare formulations suitable for various types of administration routes. Conventional procedures and ingredients for the selection and preparation of suitable formulations are described, for example, in Remington’s Pharmaceutical Sciences (2003 - 20th edition) and in The United States Pharmacopeia: The National Formulary (USP 24 NF19) published in 1999. The carriers, diluents and/or excipients are“acceptable” in the sense of being compatible with the other ingredients of the pharmaceutical composition and not deleterious to the recipient thereof.
Pharmaceutical compositions of the application are formulated to be compatible with its intended route of administration. Examples of routes of administration include parenteral, e.g., intravenous, intradermal, subcutaneous, oral (e.g., inhalation), transdermal (topical), and transmucosal administration. Solutions or suspensions used for parenteral, intradermal, or subcutaneous application can include the following components: a sterile diluent such as water for injection, saline solution, fixed oils, polyethylene glycols, glycerine, propylene glycol or other synthetic solvents; antibacterial agents such as benzyl alcohol or methyl parabens; antioxidants such as ascorbic acid or sodium bisulfite; chelating agents such as ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid; buffers such as acetates, citrates or phosphates, and agents for the adjustment of tonicity such as sodium chloride or dextrose. The pH can be adjusted with acids or bases, such as hydrochloric acid or sodium hydroxide. The parenteral preparation can be enclosed in ampoules, disposable syringes or multiple dose vials made of glass or plastic.
A compound or pharmaceutical composition can be administered to a subject in many of the well-known methods currently used for chemotherapeutic treatment. For example, for treatment of cancers, a compound may be injected directly into tumors, injected into the blood stream or body cavities or taken orally or applied through the skin with patches. The dose chosen should be sufficient to constitute effective treatment but not as high as to cause unacceptable side effects. The state of the disease condition (e.g., cancer, precancer, and the like) and the health of the patient should preferably be closely monitored during and for a reasonable period after treatment.
The term“therapeutically effective amount”, as used herein, refers to an amount of a pharmaceutical agent to treat, ameliorate, or prevent an identified disease or condition, or to exhibit a detectable therapeutic or inhibitory effect. The effect can be detected by any assay method known in the art. The precise effective amount for a subject will depend upon the subject’s body weight, size, and health; the nature and extent of the condition; and the therapeutic or combination of therapeutics selected for administration. Therapeutically effective amounts for a given situation can be determined by routine experimentation that is within the skill and judgment of the clinician.
For any compound, the therapeutically effective amount can be estimated initially either in cell culture assays, e.g., of neoplastic cells, or in animal models, usually rats, mice, rabbits, dogs, or pigs. The animal model may also be used to determine the appropriate concentration range and route of administration. Such information can then be used to determine useful doses and routes for administration in humans. Therapeutic/prophylactic efficacy and toxicity may be determined by standard pharmaceutical procedures in cell cultures or experimental animals, e.g., ED50 (the dose therapeutically effective in 50% of the population) and LD50 (the dose lethal to 50% of the population). The dose ratio between toxic and therapeutic effects is the therapeutic index, and it can be expressed as the ratio,
LD50/ED50. Pharmaceutical compositions that exhibit large therapeutic indices are preferred. The dosage may vary within this range depending upon the dosage form employed, sensitivity of the patient, and the route of administration.
Dosage and administration are adjusted to provide sufficient levels of the active agent(s) or to maintain the desired effect. Factors which may be taken into account include the severity of the disease state, general health of the subject, age, weight, and gender of the subject, diet, time and frequency of administration, drug combination(s), reaction
sensitivities, and tolerance/response to therapy. Long-acting pharmaceutical compositions may be administered every 3 to 4 days, every week, or once every two weeks depending on half-life and clearance rate of the particular formulation.
The pharmaceutical compositions containing active compound of the present application or PARP inhibitors may be manufactured in a manner that is generally known, e.g., by means of conventional mixing, dissolving, granulating, dragee-making, levigating, emulsifying, encapsulating, entrapping, or lyophilizing processes. Pharmaceutical compositions may be formulated in a conventional manner using one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers comprising excipients and/or auxiliaries that facilitate processing of the active compound or PARP inhibitors into preparations that can be used pharmaceutically. Of course, the appropriate formulation is dependent upon the route of administration chosen.
Pharmaceutical compositions suitable for injectable use include sterile aqueous solutions (where water soluble) or dispersions and sterile powders for the extemporaneous preparation of sterile injectable solutions or dispersion. For intravenous administration, suitable carriers include physiological saline, bacteriostatic water, Cremophor EL^ (BASF, Parsippany, N.J.) or phosphate buffered saline (PBS). In all cases, the composition must be sterile and should be fluid to the extent that easy syringeability exists. It must be stable under the conditions of manufacture and storage and must be preserved against the contaminating action of microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi. The carrier can be a solvent or dispersion medium containing, for example, water, ethanol, polyol (for example, glycerol, propylene glycol, and liquid polyethylene glycol, and the like), and suitable mixtures thereof. The proper fluidity can be maintained, for example, by the use of a coating such as lecithin, by the maintenance of the required particle size in the case of dispersion and by the use of surfactants. Prevention of the action of microorganisms can be achieved by various antibacterial and antifungal agents, for example, parabens, chlorobutanol, phenol, ascorbic acid, thimerosal, and the like. In many cases, it will be preferable to include isotonic agents, for example, sugars, polyalcohols such as mannitol, sorbitol, sodium chloride in the composition. Prolonged absorption of the injectable compositions can be brought about by including in the composition an agent which delays absorption, for example, aluminum monostearate and gelatin.
Sterile injectable solutions can be prepared by incorporating the active compound in the required amount in an appropriate solvent with one or a combination of ingredients enumerated above, as required, followed by filtered sterilization. Generally, dispersions are prepared by incorporating the active compound into a sterile vehicle that contains a basic dispersion medium and the required other ingredients from those enumerated above. In the case of sterile powders for the preparation of sterile injectable solutions, methods of preparation are vacuum drying and freeze-drying that yields a powder of the active ingredient plus any additional desired ingredient from a previously sterile-filtered solution thereof. Oral compositions generally include an inert diluent or an edible pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. They can be enclosed in gelatin capsules or compressed into tablets. For the purpose of oral therapeutic administration, the active compound can be incorporated with excipients and used in the form of tablets, troches, or capsules. Oral compositions can also be prepared using a fluid carrier for use as a mouthwash, wherein the compound in the fluid carrier is applied orally and swished and expectorated or swallowed. Pharmaceutically compatible binding agents, and/or adjuvant materials can be included as part of the composition. The tablets, pills, capsules, troches and the like can contain any of the following ingredients, or compounds of a similar nature: a binder such as microcrystalline cellulose, gum tragacanth or gelatin; an excipient such as starch or lactose, a disintegrating agent such as alginic acid, Primogel, or corn starch; a lubricant such as magnesium stearate or Sterotes; a glidant such as colloidal silicon dioxide; a sweetening agent such as sucrose or saccharin; or a flavoring agent such as peppermint, methyl salicylate, or orange flavoring.
For administration by inhalation, the compound is delivered in the form of an aerosol spray from pressured container or dispenser, which contains a suitable propellant, e.g., a gas such as carbon dioxide, or a nebulizer.
Systemic administration can also be by transmucosal or transdermal means. For transmucosal or transdermal administration, penetrants appropriate to the barrier to be permeated are used in the formulation. Such penetrants are generally known in the art, and include, for example, for transmucosal administration, detergents, bile salts, and fusidic acid derivatives. Transmucosal administration can be accomplished through the use of nasal sprays or suppositories. For transdermal administration, the active compound is formulated into ointments, salves, gels, or creams as generally known in the art.
The active compound can be prepared with pharmaceutically acceptable carriers that will protect the compound against rapid elimination from the body, such as a controlled release formulation, including implants and microencapsulated delivery systems.
Biodegradable, biocompatible polymers can be used, such as ethylene vinyl acetate, polyanhydrides, polyglycolic acid, collagen, polyorthoesters, and polylactic acid. Methods for preparation of such formulations will be apparent to those skilled in the art. The materials can also be obtained commercially from Alza Corporation and Nova Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
Liposomal suspensions (including liposomes targeted to infected cells with monoclonal antibodies to viral antigens) can also be used as pharmaceutically acceptable carriers. These can be prepared according to methods known to those skilled in the art, for example, as described in U.S. Pat. No.4,522,811.
It is especially advantageous to formulate oral or parenteral compositions in dosage unit form for ease of administration and uniformity of dosage. Dosage unit form as used herein refers to physically discrete units suited as unitary dosages for the subject to be treated; each unit containing a predetermined quantity of active compound calculated to produce the desired therapeutic effect in association with the required pharmaceutical carrier. The specification for the dosage unit forms of the application are dictated by and directly dependent on the unique characteristics of the active compound and the particular therapeutic effect to be achieved.
In therapeutic applications, the dosages of the pharmaceutical compositions used in accordance with the application vary depending on the agent, the age, weight, and clinical condition of the recipient patient, and the experience and judgment of the clinician or practitioner administering the therapy, among other factors affecting the selected dosage. Generally, the dose should be sufficient to result in slowing, and preferably regressing, the growth of the tumors and also preferably causing complete regression of the cancer. Dosages can range from about 0.01 mg/kg per day to about 5000 mg/kg per day. An effective amount of a pharmaceutical agent is that which provides an objectively identifiable improvement as noted by the clinician or other qualified observer. For example, regression of a tumor in a subject may be measured with reference to the diameter of a tumor. Decrease in the diameter of a tumor indicates regression. Regression is also indicated by failure of tumors to reoccur after treatment has stopped. As used herein, the term“dosage effective manner” refers to amount of an active compound to produce the desired biological effect in a subject or cell.
The pharmaceutical compositions can be included in a container, pack, or dispenser together with instructions for administration.
The dosage regimen utilizing the compound is selected in accordance with a variety of factors including type, species, age, weight, sex and medical condition of the patient; the severity of the condition to be treated; the route of administration; the renal and hepatic function of the patient; and the particular compound or pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof employed. An ordinarily skilled physician or veterinarian can readily determine and prescribe the effective amount of the drug required to prevent, counter or arrest the progress of the condition. Techniques for formulation and administration of the disclosed compound of the application and PARP inhibitors and combinations thereof can be found in Remington: the Science and Practice of Pharmacy, 19th edition, Mack Publishing Co., Easton, PA (1995).

In some embodiments, the subject can be a subject determined to have an increased level of DNA damage occurring in one or more cell types relative to a reference level. As used herein, "DNA damage" refers to breaks, nicks, and mutations of the DNA present in a cell. In some embodiments, the DNA damage can comprise one or more of single-strand breaks (e.g., "nicks"), double strand breaks (DSBs), and mutations. In some embodiments, the DNA damage can be one or more DSBs. As used herein, "mutation" refers to a change or difference in the genetic material of a cell as compared to a reference wildtype cell, e.g. a deletion, an insertion, a SNP, a gene rearrangement, and/or the introduction of an exogenous gene or sequence.
In some embodiments, the subject can be determined to have an increased level of DNA damage if the subject is determined to have an increased level and/or activity of a DNA damage process or DNA editing enzyme. As used herein, "DNA damage process" refers to any activity or process in a cell which causes one or more types of DNA damage to occur.
In some embodiments, an increased level of DNA damage can be an increased level of mutations, e.g., by determining the overall mutation status in all or a portion of the genome of a cell. An overall mutation status at least 2% greater, e.g.2% greater or more, 3% greater or more, 5% greater or more, 10% greater or more, or 20% greater or more than the overall mutation status in a reference cell can be indicative of an increased, elevated, and/or significant level of a DNA editing enzyme activity. In some embodiments, the level of hyper mutations can be determined. In some embodiments, the overall mutation status in the whole genome or a portion thereof can be determined using FISH, whole genome sequencing, high throughput sequencing, exome sequencing, hybridization, and/or PCR. In some embodiments the activity of a DNA editing enzyme can be measured by determining the level of hypermutations in the specific target genes including, but not limited to IGH, BCL6, MYC, BCLl 1A, CD93, PIMl and/or PAX5. In some embodiments the DNA editing enzyme is AID. In some embodiments, a level of mutation in specific target genes including IGH, BCL6, MYC, BCLl 1A, CD93, PIMl and/or PAX5 which is at least 2% greater, e.g.2% greater or more, 3% greater or more, 5% greater or more, 10% greater or more, or 20% greater or more than the level of mutation in IGH, BCL6, MYC, BCLl 1A, CD93, PIMl and/or PAX5 in a reference cell can be indicative of an increased, elevated, and/or significant level of AID activity. In some embodiments, an increased level of DNA damage can be an increased level of double strand breaks (DSBs). The level of DSBs can be determined, by way of non- limiting example, by karyotyping, by g-H2AC foci formation, and/or by using FISH analysis to detect DNA double strand breaks, e.g. DNA breakage detection fish (DBD-FISH) (Volpi and Bridger, BioTechniques, Vol.45, No.4, October 2008, pp.385-409).
In some embodiments, an increased level of DNA damage can be an increased level of single strand breaks. The level of single-strand breaks in DNA can be determined, by way of non-limiting example, by COMET assays, FISH, or the use of single-strand break-specific probes. Detection of DNA breaks, both single and double -stranded is known in the art and described further, at, e.g., Kumari et al. EXCLI Journal 20097:44-62 and Motalleb et al. Research Journal of Applied Sciences, Engineering and Technology.20124: 1888-1894; each of which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.
In some embodiments, an increased level of activity of a DNA damage process can comprise an increased level and/or activity of a DNA editing enzyme. In some embodiments, the technology described herein is directed to treating cells having an active DNA editing enzyme with a compound of the present application in combination with a PARP inhibitor. In some embodiments, the technology described herein is directed to treating cells having an increased level and/or activity of a DNA editing enzyme with a compound of the present application in combination with a PARP inhibitor. As used herein, "DNA editing enzyme" refers to an enzyme which normally catalyzes the mutation, exchange or excision of DNA segments, particularly enzymes which can generate or promote the generation of point mutations, DNA single strand breaks, DNA double-strand breaks or protein-DNA adducts. A DNA editing enzyme, as referred to herein, is not necessarily site-specific in its action.
Similarly, it is not necessarily cell specific. In some embodiments, the cell is a B cell expressing a detectable amount of such an enzyme.
Non-limiting examples of DNA editing enzymes include, but are not limited to Recombination Activating Gene 1 (RAG1; NCBI Gene ID: 5896), Recombination Activating Gene 1 (RAG2; NCBI Gene ID: 5897), Sporulation-specific protein 11 (SPOl 1; NCBI Gene ID: 23626), APOBEC family members a Type 1 Topoisomerase; a Type 2 Topoisomerase; and/or AID. In some embodiments, the DNA editing enzyme can be AID.
In some embodiments, the DNA editing enzyme can be a member of the APOBEC (apolipoprotein B mRNA editing enzyme, catalytic polypeptide -like) family. As used herein "APOBEC family" refers to a family of cytidine deaminase enzymes having an N-terminal zinc-dependent cytidine deaminase catalytic domain comprising and a C-terminal pseudocatalytic domain. Non-limiting examples of APOBEC family members include AID, APOBEC 1 (e.g., NCBI Gene ID: 339), APOBEC2 (e.g., NCBI Gene ID: 10930),
APOBEC3A (e.g., NCBI Gene ID: 200315), APOBEC3C (e.g., NCBI Gene ID: 27350), APOBEC3E (e.g., NCBI Gene ID: 140564), APOBEC3F (e.g., NCBI Gene ID:200316), APOBEC3G (e.g., NCBI Gene ID: 60489), APOBEC3H (e.g., NCBI Gene ID: 164668), and APOBEC4(e.g., NCBI Gene ID: 403314).
In some embodiments, the DNA editing enzyme can be a Type 1 topoisomerase. In some embodiments, the DNA editing enzyme can be a Type 2 topoisomerase.
Topoisomerases generate breaks in DNA to help uncoil or relax the strand. Type II topoisomerases hydrolyze ATP to generate DSB cuts, while Type I topoisomerases generate single-stranded breaks. Non-limiting examples of Type II topoisomerases can include topoisomerase II (e.g., NCBI Gene ID: 7153 and 7155). Non-limiting examples of Type I topoisomerases can include topoisomerase I (e.g., NCBI Gene ID: 7150).
Embodiments of the technology described herein are based on the discovery that the compounds described herein can inhibit DNA repair mechanisms, e.g., homologous repair, and act synergistically with a PARP inhibitor. Activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID, or AICDA, also known as ARP2, CDA2 or HIGM2), a DNA-editing enzyme that is a member of the apolipoprotein B mRNA editing enzymes, catalytic polypeptide -like
(APOBEC), will cause widespread genomic breaks and cell death in cells with diminished homologous recombination ability (e.g. cells with diminished DNA double strand break repair abilities). Accordingly, provided herein is a method of causing cell death comprising detecting increased expression of a DNA-editing enzyme (e.g. AID) in a cell and thereafter contacting the cell with a compound of the present application in combination with a PARP inhibitor; thereby resulting in cell death. Accordingly, provided herein is a method of causing cell death comprising increasing expression of a DNA-editing enzyme (e.g. AID) in a cell and thereafter contacting the cell with a compound of the present application in combination with a PARP inhibitor; thereby resulting in cell death. Accordingly, provided herein is a method of causing cell death comprising administering to a cell a therapeutically effective amount of a DNA editing enzyme (e.g. AID) and thereafter contacting the cell with a compound of the present application in combination with a PARP inhibitor; thereby resulting in cell death. AID, encoded by the AICDA gene (NCBI Gene ID: 57379), is required for proper B- cell function and is most prominently expressed in centroblast B-cells. The protein is involved in somatic hypermutation, gene conversion, and class-switch recombination of immunoglobulin genes. AID is normally expressed almost exclusively in antigen-activated germinal center B-cells, where it initiates immunoglobulin isotype class switching (Manis et al.2002, Trends Immunol, 23, 31-39; Chaudhuri and Alt, Nat Rev Immunol, 2004, 4, 541- 552; Longerich et al., Curr Opin Immunol, 2006, 18, 164-174; Chaudhuri et al., Adv
Immunol 2007, 94, 157-214). AID is required for somatic hypermutation and
immunoglobulin class switching in activated B cells. AID expression is regulated by CD40 ligand, B-cell receptor, IL4R, or Toll-like receptor stimulation (Crouch et al., J Exp Med 2007204: 1145-1156; Muramatsu et al., J Biol Chem 1999274: 18470-6). After activation, AID is transiently upregulated, induces point mutations or DNA double strand breaks in a sequence nonspecific manner within immunoglobulin genes, and is then downregulated (Longerich et al., Curr Opin Immunol, 2006, 18, 164-176; Chaudhuri et al., Adv Immunol 2007, 94, 157-214). Overall, AID is active in only a tiny population of normal cells (antigen- activated B-cells) at any given time. The genomic rearrangements and mutations controlled by AID lead to the development of antigen-recognition diversity, receptor editing and lymphoid effector function required for functional adaptive immunity (Mills, et al. Immunol Rev 2003194:77-95). Recently it has been reported that AID has off-target point mutation activities (Liu, M. et al., Nature 2008, 451, 841-845; Liu and Schatz, Trends Immunol.2009, 30, 173-181; Perez-Duran et al., Carcinogenesis.2007, 28(12):2427-33). Robbiani et al. has reported off-target activities of AID in B- cells, especially c-myc/IgH translocations
(Robbiani et al., Mol Cell 2009, 36(4):631-41). AID expression accelerates the rate of tumor development in Bcl6 transgenic mice (Pasqualucci et al., 2008, Nat. Genet.40, 108-112). However, deregulated AID does not necessarily cause malignancy or translocation-associated cancer on its own in B cells (Muto et al., 2006, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 103, 2752-2757; Okazaki et al., 2003, J. Exp. Med.197, 1173-1181; Shen et al., 2008, Mol. Immunol.45, 1883-1892). In addition, despite its obligate role in c-myc/IgH translocation, AID is not required for the development of plasmacytosis or plasmacytoma in IL-6 transgenic or pristane-treated mice, respectively (Kovalchuk et al., 2007, J. Exp. Med.204, 2989-3001; Ramiro et al., 2004, J. Exp. Med.200, 1103-1110). However, most human B cell lymphoma- associated translocations do not involve c-myc, and many do not involve Ig genes (Kuppers, 2005, Oncogene 20, 5580-5594). Overexpression of AID has been reported in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) (Hancer et al. Leuk Lymphoma.2011 Jan;52(l):79-84; Heintel et al., Leukemia.2004 Apr; 18(4):756-62). Further, AID expression has been shown to be correlated with blast crisis B lineage leukemia and therapy resistance in myeloid leukemia and to be associated with generally poor prognosis in chronic B lymphocytic leukemia (Mao et al., Br J Dermatol 2001, 145: 117-122; Chaudhuri et al., Nature 2004, 430:992-8). Further expression of AID in tumor cells from a variety of cancers has been reported including but not limited to lung, breast, gastric, colon, intestinal, liver cancer and choriangiocarcinoma (Greeve et al., Blood 2003, 1010, 3574-3580; Feldhahn et al., J Exp Med 2007, 204, 1157-1166; Kotani et al., PNAS USA 2007, 104, 1616-1620; Engels et al., 2008, Appl Immunohistochem Mol Morphol 16, 521-529; Klemm et al., 2009, Cancer Cell 6, 232-245; Palacios et al., 2010, Blood 115(22), 4488-4496; Leuenberger et al., 2009, Mod Pathol 32, 177-186; Gruber et al., 2010, Cancer Res 70, 7411-7420; inflammatory cancer (Marusawa 2008, Int J Biochem Cell Biol.40, 399- 402); follicular lymphoma (Hardianti et al., 2004, Leukemia 18, 826-831; Shikata et al., 2012, Cancer Sci.103(3):415-21); thyroid cancer (Qiu et al.2012, Mod Pathol 25(l),36-45); breast cancer (Borchert et al.2011, BMC Cancer 11:347); Marusawa, et al., 2011, Adv Immunol 111 : 109-41; Zhang et al.2012, Hum Pathol 43(3):423-34; Komori et al., 2008, Hepatology 47(3):888-896; Hockley 2010, Leukemia 24(5): 1084-6; adult T-cell leukemia (Nakamura et al., 2011, Br J Dermatol.165(2):437-9). All of the references in the foregoing paragraph are incorporated by reference herein in their entireties.
Elevated levels of AID have been reported in arthritis (Xu et al. Scand. J. Immunol. 2009, 296, 2033-6) and in the MRL/Fas(lpr/lpr) mouse lupus model (White et al.2011, Autoimmunity 44(8), 585-98). All of the references in the foregoing paragraph are incorporated by reference herein in their entireties.
When DSB repair is inhibited, the extent of the DSBs generated by AID is much higher than previously suspected and the extent of genomic damage is so severe as to result in cell death. Accordingly, in one embodiment of the technology described herein, there is provided a method of treatment comprising; (a) selecting a subject having cells that express elevated levels of activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID); and (b) administering a therapeutically effective amount of an inhibitor of double strand break repair (e.g. a compound of the present application) to the subject; wherein an elevated level of AID is a level of AID that is higher than the level of AID in cells of the same type from a healthy individual. In some embodiments, the cells expressing elevated levels of AID are B cells. In some embodiments, the B cell expressing elevated levels of AID is a cancerous B cells or a B cell associated with autoimmune disease. In some embodiments, the subject can be a human subject.
Methods provided herein treat cancers and/or autoimmune disorders by inhibiting DNA double strand break repair. This inhibition proves lethal to cells expressing AID, as AID generates widespread genomic breaks, and the treatment with a double strand break repair inhibitor prevents the repair of these lesions which are being generated by the cell itself. This results in cell death in the subject which is specific to the cells expressing AID, e.g. cancerous B cells and/or autoimmune cells. Accordingly, as described herein, in one embodiment there is a provided a treatment paradigm that selectively induces self-destruction of certain diseased cells, while reducing the unintended side effects in healthy tissues.
In some embodiments, an increased level and/or activity of a DNA editing enzyme can be an increased level of DNA editing enzyme mRNA. mRNA levels can be assessed using, e.g., biochemical and molecular biology techniques such as Northern blotting or other hybridization assays, nuclease protection assay, reverse transcription (quantitative RT-PCR) techniques, RNA-Seq, high throughput sequencing and the like. Such assays are well known to those in the art. In one embodiment, nuclear "run-on" (or "run-off) transcription assays are used (see e.g. Methods in Molecular Biology, Volume: 49 , Sep-27-1995, Page Range: 229- 238). Arrays can also be used; arrays, and methods of analyzing mRNA using such arrays have been described previously, e.g. in EP0834575, EP0834576, W096/31622, U.S. Pat. No. 5,837,832 or WO98/30883. WO97/10365 provides methods for monitoring of expression levels of a multiplicity of genes using high density oligonucleotide arrays.
In some embodiments, a subject can be determined to have an increased level of DNA damage occurring in one or more cell types relative to a reference level if the subject has been exposed to an agent that is known to cause such DNA damage. Non-limiting examples of such agents can include a viral infection with a DNA integrating virus (e.g. adeno- associated virus, retrovirus, human T-lymphotropic virus, HIV-1, oncovirus, hepatitis virus, hepatitis B virus); DNA damaging chemicals (e.g. acetaldehyde, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, benzenes, nitrosamines, tobacco smoke, aflatoxin, and the like); DNA damaging chemotherapeutic agents (e.g. bleomycin, mitomycin, nitrogen mustards (e.g. mechlorethamine, cyclophosphamide, melphalan, chlorambucil, ifosfamide and busulfan), nitrosoureas (e.g., N-Nitroso-N-methylurea (MNU), carmustine (BCNU), lomustine (CCNU) and semustine (MeCCNU), fotemustine and streptozotocin), tetrazines (e.g., dacarbazine, mitozolomide and temozolomide),aziridines (e.g., thiotepa, mytomycin and diaziquone (AZQ)), cisplatins (e.g., cisplatin, carboplatin and oxaliplatin) procarbazine and
hexamethylmelamine); and ionizing or ultraviolet radiation. Exposure to such agents can be the result of an accident, infection and/or environmental exposure or the result of a therapeutic administration of such agents.
In some embodiments, the increased level of DNA damage can be occurring in a cell type affected by the cancer, autoimmune disease, and/or neurodegenerative disease. In some embodiments, the subject is determined to have an increased level of DNA damage occurring in a cell selected from the group consisting of: a cancer cell; an immune system cell; or a nervous system cell.
In some embodiments, the DNA editing enzyme can be AID. In some embodiments, the level of AID can be the level of AID in a blood cell. In some embodiments, the level of AID can be the level of AID in a B cell.
In some embodiments, an increased level of AID can be a detectable level of AID, e.g., as described below herein.
In some embodiments, the subject can be a human subject.
Methods provided herein treat cancers and/or autoimmune disorders by inhibiting DNA double strand break repair. This inhibition proves lethal to cells expressing AID, as AID generates widespread genomic breaks, and the treatment with a double strand break repair inhibitor prevents the repair of these lesions which are being generated by the cell itself. This results in cell death in the subject which is specific to the cells expressing AID, e.g. cancerous B cells and/or autoimmune cells. Accordingly, as described herein, in one embodiment there is a provided a treatment paradigm that selectively induces self-destruction of certain diseased cells, while reducing the unintended side effects in healthy tissues.
Methods of defecting cancers in patients with increased levels of DNA damage or increased levels of DNA editing enzymes are disclosed in WO2016/094897, incorporated herein by reference.
In some embodiments, the cancer to be treated is a type with high expression of a DNA editing enzyme. In some embodiments, the cancer to be treated is a B-cell neoplasm.
Another embodiment is a method of treating a cancer by administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of one or more disclosed compounds, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, or the corresponding pharmaceutical composition in combination with a PARP inhibitor or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof or a pharmaceutical composition comprising a PARP inhibitor. In one aspect, the cancer is selected from the group consisting of lymphoma, leukemia, and a plasma cell neoplasm. In another aspect, the cancer selected from the group consisting of carcinoma and sarcoma.

Lymphomas which can be treated by the disclosed methods include Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma; Burkitt’s lymphoma; small lymphocytic lymphoma; lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma; MALT lymphoma; follicular lymphoma; diffuse large B-cell lymphoma; mantle cell lymphoma; and T-cell lymphoma.
Lymphoma is a malignancy in the lymphatic cells of the immune system (e.g. B cells, T cells, or natural killer (NK) cells). Lymphomas often originate in the lymph nodes and present as solid tumors. They can metastasize to other organs such as the brain, bone, or skin. Extranodal sites are often located in the abdomen. Lymphomas are closely related to the lymphoid leukemia and in some cases a particular form of cancer is categorized as both a lymphoma and a leukemia.
Leukemias which can be treated by the disclosed methods include acute
lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL); Burkitt’s leukemia; B-cell leukemia; B-cell acute
lymphoblastic leukemia; chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL); acute myelogenous leukemia (AML); chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML); and T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T- ALL).

In another embodiment for the disclosed method, the cancer is characterized by mutations in the mutS homologues (e.g., MSH2, MSH3, and MSH6), mutL homologues (e.g. MLH1), or mismatch repair endonuclease PMS2. Mutations are changes in the genetic code. They include point mutations and frameshift mutations. In a point mutation, one nucleotide is swapped out for another. Therefore, the mutation occurs at a single point or location within the DNA strand. Frameshift mutations are due to either insertions or deletions of nucleotides. This causes the entire DNA strand to elongate or to shrink in size. Thus, frameshift mutations may alter all of the codons that occur after the deletion or insertion. The mutations referred to herein include, but are not limited to, insertions, deletions, duplications, inversions, or other recognized point mutations. It has now been found that RAD51 inhibitors are particularly effective in treating cancers with mutations in MSH (e.g. MSH6), MLH, or PMS2.
MutS Homolog 2 (MSH2) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MSH2 gene, which is located on chromosome 2. MSH2 is a tumor suppressor gene and more specifically a caretaker gene that codes for a DNA mismatch repair (MMR) protein, MSH2, which forms a heterodimer with MSH6 to make the human MutSa mismatch repair complex. It also dimerizes with MSH3 to form the MutSb DNA repair complex. MSH2 is involved in many different forms of DNA repair, including transcription-coupled repair, homologous recombination, and base excision repair. Examples of the mutations in MSH2 include, but are not limited to, g.47630253_47630254del, g.47702411_47702421del,

MutS Homolog 3 (MSH3) is a human homologue of the bacterial mismatch repair protein MutS that participates in the mismatch repair (MMR) system. MSH3 typically forms the heterodimer MutSb with MSH2 in order to correct long insertion/deletion loops and base- base mispairs in microsatellites during DNA synthesis. Deficient capacity for MMR is found in approximately 15% of colorectal cancers, and somatic mutations in the MSH3 gene can be found in nearly 50% of MMR-deficient colorectal cancers. Examples of the mutations in MSH3 include, but are not limited to, g.79970809del.
MSH6 encodes MutS homologue 6 (MSH6), a member of the Mutator S (MutS) family of proteins that are involved in DNA mismatch repair (MMR). The MSH6 protein forms a heterodimer with MutS homologue 2 (MSH2) in both human and yeast. Human MSH2/6 recognizes single base-base mismatches and short insertion/deletion loops. Upon recognition of a mismatch, MSH2/6 complex binds and exchanges ADP for ATP, resulting in a conformational change to the complex that precedes base pair dissolution, base excision, and repair.
MSH6 mutations include frameshift and/or nonsense mutations and can result in non- functional MSH6 and loss of protein expression. Examples include a frameshift mutation at MSH6 amino acid residue 290 and a compounding missense T1189I.
Inactivating MSH6 mutations can be detected in cancers by routine diagnostics methods. These methods include, but are not limited to, obtaining cancer cells and other diagnostic indicators such as peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), PBMC subpopulations, circulating blasts (CD34+ cells), circulating tumor cells and circulating exosomescancer cells by biopsy and blood tests and by obtaining lymphatic or other bodily fluids. It is then determined from the cancer cells or other diagnostic indicators whether the cancer exhibits an inactivating MSH6 mutation is by methodology known in the art, for example, direct DNA sequencing and multiplex ligation dependent probe amplification, RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq), microarray, quantitative PCR, or NanoStringTM gene expression panels, or MSH6 protein by immunohistochemistry, flow cytometry, immunocytochemistry or Western blot. Methods for identifying inactivating MSH6 mutations are disclosed in Houlleberghs H, Goverde A, Lusseveld J, Dekker M, Bruno MJ, et al. (2017) Suspected Lynch syndrome associated MSH6 variants: A functional assay to determine their pathogenicity. PLOS Genetics 13(5):

Human PMS2 related genes are located at bands 7p12, 7p13, 7q11, and 7q22. Exons 1 through 5 of these homologues share high degree of identity to human PMS2. The product of this gene is involved in DNA mismatch repair. The protein forms a heterodimer with MLH1 and this complex interacts with MSH2 bound to mismatched bases. Defects in this gene are associated with hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer, with Turcot syndrome, and are a cause of supratentorial primitive neuroectodermal tumors.
Examples of the mutations in PMS2 include, but are not limited to,

The present application provides a method of treating patients with Lynch syndrome to reduce the likelihood of from developing or treating cancers derieved from Lynch syndrome, by administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of one or more disclosed compounds, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, or the corresponding pharmaceutical composition in combination with a PARP inhibitor or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof or a pharmaceutical composition comprising a PARP inhibitor.
Lynch syndrome is a hereditary disorder caused by a mutation in a mismatch repair gene in which affected individuals have a higher than normal chance of developing colorectal cancer, endometrial cancer, and various other types of aggressive cancers, often at a young age– also called hereditary nonpolyposis colon cancer (HNPCC).
The mutations of specific mismatch repair (MMR) genes including but not limited to MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, PMS2, and EPCAM-TACSTD1 deletions are responsible for Lynch syndrome. These genes work in repairing mistakes made when DNA is copied in preparation for cell division. The defects in the genes disallow repair of DNA mistakes and as cells divide, errors stack and uncontrollable cell growth may result in cancer.
Those with Lynch syndrome carry up to an 85% risk of contracting colon cancer as well as a higher than average risk for endometrial cancer, stomach cancer, pancreatic cancer, kidney/ureter tract cancer, hepatobiliary tract cancer, gastric tract cancer, prostate cancer, ovarian cancer, gallbladder duct cancer, brain cancer, small intestine cancer, breast cancer, and skin cancer.

Example 2. Compound Primary Screening
BACKGROUND
Primary screening was a phenotypic screen that utilized the synthetic lethal interaction between AID and RAD51 to identify compounds that were both potent and on target. AID expressing cells are dependent upon RAD51 for survival; inhibiting RAD51 in AID positive cells results in a cytotoxic effect. Based on such an effect, compounds that were potent in AID positive cells and were signficiantly less potent in AID negative cells were identified.
MATERIALS AND SUPPLIES
Plastic ware and consumables needed for this experiment include: Cell Culture media; Evaporation Buffer media; 100% DMSO; 96 well U-bottom sterile culture plates; 250mL bottle; 1.5mL Opaque amber epi tubes; Epi Tube rack; 300mL reservoirs; 25mL reservoir; 25mL serological pipette tips; 5mL serological pipette tips P1000 Pipette Tips; and P200 Pipette Tips. Equipment needed for this experiment include: Viaflo 384 liquid handler; Eppendorf serological pipette; Eppendorf P1000 Pipette; and Eppendorf P200 Pipette
Daudi Cell Culture and WI-38 Cell Cultures werealso needed for this experiment. Lastly, compounds (e.g., the compounds of this application) to be tested are needed. PROCEDURE
All steps were performed in a sterile environment inside the Biosafety cabinet.
The first step was to set up a cell killing assay in the Daudi cell line (AID positive). A 96 well u-bottom plate was prepared by writing the experiment number, plate number, date and initials in the top right corner of the plate lid. With a sterile 300ml reservoir, and 25ml serological pipette, evaporation buffer media was pipetted into reservoir in 25ml increments. Using the liquid handler,150ul of evaporation buffer media was pipetted from reservoir into rows A and H, and Columns 1 and 12 of the 96 well u-bottom plate. Cell cultures were counted to obtain the density of cells per ml, and the culture viability. The cell density information was used to obtain 1,000,000 cells from culture using a 5mL serological pipette into an epi tube. The cell density information from the culture was used to calculate the number of cells and volume of media needed for the assay to seed 1250 cells in 130ul of media per available culture well in the 96 well u-bottom plate. Rows B through F were used for cells (50 wells in total), with row G left for an empty media control. The calculation was overestimated by 10mL to account for the dead volume in the 300ml reservoir. Once the media volume was calculated, the appropriate volume of media was pipetted in 25mL increments into the 250mL bottle using a 25mL serological pipette. The 250ml bottle was capped tightly, and placed into a 37oC water bath for 2 minutes. While the culture media was warming, 10mL of fresh media was pipetted from the 500mL culture media bottle into a sterile 25mL reservoir. Using the Eppendorf multichannel pipette, 130ul of media was piptted from the 25mL reservoir into row G of the 96 well u-bottom plate. Once the 250mL bottle of media was warmed, the volume of culture needed was pipetted into the bottle, and mixed gently with a 25mL serological pipette as to not create bubbles, and then the contents of the bottle were pipetted into a new 300mL reservoir. Using the liquid handler, 130ul of culture was pipetted from the 300mL reservoir into rows B through F of the 96 well u-bottom plate. Once the culture was added, the plate was placed into a 37oC incubator until the compound master plate was prepared for use.
Two 96 well u-bottom plates were prepared by writing the master plate name in the upper right corner of the plate lid. Labeling one DMSO master and the other Media Master. The compounds of interest were obtained from the laboratory freezer, and placed into a 25 well storage box with a lid, and set the box aside. The compounds were vortexed after thawing but before use. Using an automatic multichannel pipette, 20ul of 100% DMSO was pipetted into wells B3-B11 through G3-G11 of the DMSO master plate. For each compound on the master plate, 50ul of the compound were pipetted in the appropriate well of row 2 (reference plate map to determine appropriate well). A serial dilution was prepared beginning by aspirating 20ul from row 2 and mixing with row 3, repeating until row 11 was reached. Using the liquid handler, 194ul of Daudi media was dispensed into wells B2-B11 through G2-G11 of the Media master plate. Using the liquid handler, 6ul from the DMSO master plate was aspirated and dispensed into the media master plate, mixing 100ul twice.
Compounds from master plate were then added to the culture plate. The culture plates were removed from the incubator, and set inside the biosafety cabinet. Using a liquid handler, 20ul from wells B2 to B11 through G2 to G11 of master plate were aspirated, and dispensed into wells B2 to B11 through G2 to G11 of culture plate. This set was continued with each culture plate. Once the culture plates acquired their 20ul of compound dilutions, they were placed back into the incubator, until their reads on Day 7 of experiment. Cell death was measured on Day 7 of the experiment using Cell-Titer Glo and a Promega Plate reader.
Percent cell death and EC50 values were calculated by comparing the cell viability of the compound treated wells to the non-treated wells. Normalized RLU values were obtained by subtracting the media well values from each of the wells in the same column, and then dividing that value by the DMSO treated cells values. The percent kill was then calculated by subtracting the normalized RLU value from 1 and multiplying by 100. The average normalized percent kill value and standard error of the mean was then calculated. The kill values were then inputted into Prism with the corresponding standard errors. In Prism a non- linear regression line was plotted with the data points using a semi-log scale, and the EC50 value was calculated. For compounds that showed good potency in the Daudi cell line, the assay was repeated using WI-38 cells (AID negative). Screening Data

Example 7. Combination treatment of Compound 67A with PARP inhibitors
Genomic instability is a driver of tumorigenesis and cancer progression. Loss of tumor suppressors or activation of oncogenes can induce DNA damage stress, promoting genomic instability and creating dependencies upon key DNA repair pathways. These dependencies can be targeted therapeutically to induce synthetic lethality. Without being bound by any theory, RAD51 inhibitor, Compound 67A, which is selectively active in Activation Induced Cytidine Deaminase (AID) expressing cells. In cancer cells, AID causes significant genotoxic stress through DNA replication fork collapse which creates a dependency upon the homologous recombination repair factor, RAD51, for survival.
Compound 67A acts by destabilizing RAD51 focus formation, leading to it premature nuclear export and subsequent degradation. PARP inhibitors use another synthetic lethal mechanism, in which PARP1, a protein important for repairing single strand breaks, is inhibited in BRCA1/2 deficient cancers. A main resistance mechanism to PARP inhibitors is the overexpression of RAD51; therefore, Compound 67A could act as a sensitizer to PARP inhibitors.
A matrix study was performed with Compound 67A (concentration range of 20nM to 5mM) and 5 different PARP inhibitors including olaparib (20nM to 2.5mM), niraparib (20nM to 2.5mM), veliparib (2.5mM to 50mM), rucaparib (156nm to 10mM), and talazoparib (9nM to 0.625mM). The combination matrix was tested in 3 cell lines of varying AID expression: ARPE19/HPV16 (HPV immortalized normal epithelial cell line), KYSE-70 (head and neck cancer cell line) and Daudi (Burkitt’s Lymphoma cell line). PARP indicated cells lines were also tested including HCC1143 and BT20, both of which are derived from triple negative breast cancers and were selected for their varying responsiveness to olaparib. Both the Loewe Additivity model and the Bliss Independence model were used to determine drug interaction (synergistic, independent, or antagonistic). In general, synergy with the PARP inhibitors was observed in the tumor derived cell lines. Only with olaparib was synergy observed in the non- tumor derived cell line ARPE19/HPV16. Greater synergistic activity with Compound 67A with increasing PARP trapping efficiency was observed. Veliparib, as a pure catalytic inhibitor of PARP, deviated from that trend and showed similar levels of synergy as that observed with niraparib. These data suggest that Compound 67A may be active as a combinatorial therapy with PARP inhibitors. This Example shows there is significant synergy in combining RAD51 and PARP inhibition as a cancer treatment strategy.
Bliss Independence model was used and calculated in Excel. The model assumes that the drugs act with probabilistic independence.

This expected value was generated by examining single-agent effects and then tested against the observed value using a two-tailed Welch’s T-Test. For visualization purposes, the values generated from this test were transformed to a“SynergyScore” by doing the computation:

Loewe Additivity model was used and calculated by the“Synergyfinder” R package.
Figure imgf000105_0002
The graphs generated describe the difference between the expected value generated by the additivity model and the observed value generated by the experiment. If the effect determined by the additivity model < the effect observed the space is colored red, if the effect determined by the additivity mode > the effect observed then the space is colored green. The saturation of the color is proportional to the magnitude of the difference between these two values.

Example 8. Treatment with Compound 67A in Combination with Olaparib Immunodeficient mice were subcutaneously engrafted in the rear flank with the tumor cells. The tumors were allowed to grow to a size of about 100 to about 200mm3 prior to being randomized and grouped into treatment arms. For models HBCx11 through HBCx1 the four treatment arms were vehicle, Compound 67A at 80 mg/kg QD, olaparib at 100 mg/kg QD, and Compound 67A + Olaparib at 80 mg/kg QD and 100 mg/kg QD, respectively. For models J000101173 through TM00091 the treatment arms were vehicle, Compound 67A at 40 mg/kg QD, olaparib at 50 mg/kg QD, and Compound 67A + Olaparib at 40 mg/kg QD and 50 mg/kg QD, respectively. The tumors were measured either once weekly or twice weekly.
Percent Tumor Growth Inhibition (%TGI) was calculated by taking the mean volume of each of the treatment arms, and comparing the treatment arms to the vehicle arms using the following equation:
